How High Should You Mount Your TV? Height, Angle and Cable Tips

 Mount your TV too high and you'll strain your neck. Learn the right height, angle and cable-hiding tips from the experts at Auztech Security, trusted for TV wall mounting across Melbourne.



How High Should You Mount Your TV? Height, Angle and Cable Tips

The most common TV mounting mistake isn't a crooked bracket. It's putting the screen too high. It looks neat on the wall but quickly becomes uncomfortable to watch. Here is how the team at Auztech Security decides the perfect height during every TV wall mounting job.

The Golden Rule: Eye Level When Seated

For most living rooms, the centre of the screen should sit roughly at eye level when you're seated. That is usually lower than people expect. Sit where you normally watch, relax, and mark where your eyes land.

Bedrooms and Other Rooms

  • Bedrooms: watching from lying down means a slightly higher position and often a tilting mount
  • Kitchens and open-plan areas: consider viewing angles from several spots
  • Above a fireplace: often too high for comfortable viewing, so consider an adjustable or pull-down mount

Choosing the Right Mount

  • Fixed: slimmest look, best when height is right
  • Tilt: helps with glare and slightly high positions
  • Full-motion: best for corners, open plans and shared viewing

Hide the Cables Properly

Cables dangling down a wall ruin a clean install. A professional will route power and HDMI inside the wall through a safe, compliant method, so you don't see a single wire. For new builds and renovations, pre-wiring makes this even easier.

Don't Forget Support

Walls differ. Brick, plasterboard, timber studs and concrete each need different fixings. We check the wall and use the correct anchors, so the TV stays secure for years.

Get the Whole Room Right

A mounted TV often leads to better sound and a better signal. Many customers pair it with a home theatre upgrade, a digital TV antenna check and network access points for smooth streaming.

  The Best Home Security Camera System in 2026: An Installer’s Honest Comparison Every “best security camera” article you’ve read was written by someone who has never drilled a hole in a wall. They rank cameras by spec sheet. We install these systems in Melbourne homes every week, then get called back when something doesn’t work — which teaches you very different things about which cameras are actually good. This is a straight comparison of the four brands we install: Dahua , Hikvision , HiLook and Uniview . We stock all of them. We have no reason to push you toward one. First: The Thing Nobody Tells You The brand matters less than the install. A $2,000 camera system mounted at the wrong height, aimed at the wrong angle, with the recorder sitting in plain sight by the front door, is worse than an $800 system installed properly. The three things that actually determine whether your cameras identify an intruder: Height and angle. Cameras mounted too high see the top of a head. 2.5-3...
